What My Hand-me-down Phone Must Do

I NEED TO CONNECT my youngest daughter's routine to a friendly electronic domain so I plan to hand her one of my daily use phones in a few years' time when she's on her own at school. I'm certain some of her teachers will object to a five year old having a mobile phone so I'm considering a data-only device, powered by Maxroam in Ireland. I need her pocket phone to do some things automatically.

Automatically Download Audio Clips. I think it's good to listen to things that relate to your world and that connect families. We have some podcasts in the mix that will result in complementing our table talk with voices from across the ocean. I'd like the littlest one to listen to the biggest one while both are separated by eight time zones. The hand-me-down phone needs to automagically download family audio sessions, as my Nokia E90 currently does.

One-Button Shots. I think it's important to make a 365-image library of a genre. It's also important to snap and send in one routine. Currently, our SonyEricsson C902 takes the fastest and the sharpest shots but it needs several button presses to send the image. Moreover, the fastest sending is MMS and that reduces the quality of the shot. I want one-button megapixel service and haven't found that yet.

Tracking and Updating. The phone needs to tell the connected parents where the backpack is when requested. I can trust that to Google Latitude.

Family Bluetooth Updates. I use my phone as a calendar, reminder system and a motivational tool. I think some of the things, reduced to no longer than one minute of play, should push out onto family phones via Bluetooth. I'm looking at Bluekulu for that kind of easily-implemented solution since I don't need to work with a web panel.

I'll check back here in another four years and see what I wanted and update this post with a link that confirms what kind of hand-me-down service we're getting.
